The Russian air defense forces downed two Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles near the settlements of Lisichansk of the Lugansk People’s Republic and Glubokoye of the Kharkov Region.

On August 13, the settlement of Peski in the DPR was fully liberated as a result of offensive operations by the allied forces of the Donbass republics and the Russian army.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger believes that Washington is currently on the brink of war with Moscow and Beijing, he said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "We are at the edge of war with Russia and China on issues which we partly created, without any concept of how this is going to end or what it’s supposed to lead to," he said. "You can’t just now say we’re going to split them off and turn them against each other. All you can do is not to accelerate the tensions and to create options, and for that you have to have some purpose," Kissinger added.

On August 13, the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed that another US-made HIMARS launcher and a warehouse with ammunition for it were destroyed in Eastern Ukraine. So far, the Russian military reported the destruction of 7 systems supplied by US to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Another USD 1.55 billion in military aid to Kiev allocated.

Russia’s defence ministry said its forces destroyed a US-made AN/MPQ-64 radar system in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region. In its latest daily briefing, the ministry also said Russian troops had shot down two US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) missiles.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Wednesday that instead of discussing absurd remarks such as setting up a no-fly zone over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, it is necessary for the IAEA to inspect the plant.

After bombing the area of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, Ukraine appeals to the UN Security Council to introduce a demilitarized zone in the region.

China, which Russia has sought as an ally since being cold-shouldered by the West over its invasion of Ukraine, has called the United States the "main instigator" of the crisis.

The six reactors of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant could end up producing electricity only for Russian-controlled territories. Russian forces occupying the Zaporizhia nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine are preparing to divert electricity production to the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014 without the authorization of the Western community.
